Too many signs spoil the view

A Monday article stated that Bucks County hopes to promote tourism by displaying pictures of the scenic roads of Bucks County.

This will never work at the rate PennDOT is installing arrows, curve signs and hazard warnings on every beautiful back road we have in the county. A covered bridge at the intersection of Knechts Bridge Road and Slifer Valley Road (Springfield Township, Bucks) has 14 signs in 150 feet. There is no way you can get a picture of this bridge without all the warnings signs.

If the folks driving our roads would drive the speed limit, stay off the phone and stop texting, our roads would be a lot safer.

If they happen to run off the road, they sue the county or state because the road wasn't marked properly. It's time to take responsibility for your own actions.
